His videotaped testimony is preserved at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., the Simon Wiesenthal Center, and at the Museum of Tolerance and the Steven Spielberg Survivors of the Shoah Visual History Foundation, both in Los Angeles.

His book, “Because of Romek: A Holocaust Survivor’s Memoir,” is required reading in some middle and high schools and a class at University of California, San Diego. […]
